General of the Heavens

Chapter 59 Yin Yang Feng Shui [Seeking Recommendations]

Hu Guohua said with a bitter face, "Can't I just not look...?"

With a Mountain Moving Leader on the left, a Ridge Unloading Leader on the right, and a Tomb Raider General on the right, Hu Guohua felt like he was dreaming.

So, you're the one with the lowest status here?

Even the most skilled tomb raiders are lower in rank than the generals who uncover tombs, so the best option is probably to just not look...

*Snap!* Ning Chen placed the gun in front of Hu Guohua.

"Oh! I thought the lineage of the Tomb Raiders had died out. I didn't expect there would still be a successor in the world. My apologies for not respecting you. But I have to go back to see my child. It's getting late, so let's call it a night..."

As Hu Guohua said he was going to run away, Ning Chen slammed his hand on the table, startling Hu Guohua, who immediately became obedient.

"My esteemed guests, I have elderly parents and young children to support. I truly cannot participate in such matters as tomb raiding. Not only me, but even my children and their children would never engage in tomb raiding!"

Hu Guohua said sadly, and Ning Chen almost thought that this guy must have learned face-changing, otherwise he would be an Oscar-winning actor in the future...

"Heh, I don't believe you for a second!"

Hu Guohua spoke with absolute certainty; he had no idea that a grandson named Hu Bayi would rob a tomb older than himself…

Seeing Hu Guohua's ungrateful attitude, Chen Yulou was about to loosen his bones for him, but Partridge Whistle, being upright and honest, was unwilling to force others.

He said to Hu Guohua, "Everyone has their own ambitions, and it is not appropriate to force them. I have already benefited greatly from talking with you today. Before I leave, I have something to tell you, and I hope you will take good care of yourself."

Previously, a group of thieves, having heard of your reputation, harbored evil intentions and plotted to kidnap your entire family to force you to point out auspicious burial sites for them.

Hu Guohua was shocked: "Is this really happening? I thought I could finally make a decent living here, but I've been robbed. Now, I have no choice but to run away..."

Seeing Hu Guohua in a panic, Partridge Whistle hurriedly said, "Mr. Hu, please wait. We have already dealt with that group of people. They will never come back to cause trouble for the rest of their lives."

But great success attracts trouble. Running a fortune-telling shop, offering feng shui and character readings, inevitably involves dealing with all sorts of people. Mr. Hu is a truly skilled person, so he must be reserved when offering his opinions, otherwise he will surely attract thieves again.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

This principle has existed since ancient times.

After Partridge Whistle finished speaking, he clasped his hands in a fist salute to Hu Guohua and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Hu. I will take my leave now."

After saying this, Partridge Whistle got up and was about to leave.

Chen Yulou thought to himself, "As the leader of the Unloading Ridge Sect, I must not lose to my elder brother, the leader of the Moving Mountain Sect, in terms of magnanimity and demeanor."

Chen Yulou then followed him out.

Only Ning Chen remained unmoved, as steady as Mount Tai.

Sure enough, Hu Guohua pulled the two back and said, "My benefactor, it's not that I'm afraid of death that I don't go tomb raiding. It's just that I swore a solemn oath before my master that I would never get involved in this field in my entire life."

"But I have no way to repay your life-saving grace. Since you two noble gentlemen intend to use the dragon-seeking method to rob tombs, why not invite the tomb-raiding general beside me?"

Ning Chen smiled, but also said somewhat awkwardly, "To be honest, only one Heavenly Seal of the Tomb Raider has been passed down in my lineage; the secret technique itself has been lost."

Hu Guohua nodded, then said, "In that case, we can ask those tomb raiders to lend a hand."

"Does Mr. Hu know the tomb raiders?"

Partridge Whistle and Chen Yulou were greatly surprised.

Ning Chen interjected, "This Mr. Hu's master, the master of the Yin-Yang Eyes, also known as the advisor, was a famous tomb raider in the late Qing Dynasty, known as Zhang Sanlianzi."

He was carrying only three of the only tomb raiding talismans. As I mentioned before, these are the only three ancient talismans that have truly survived to this day; they all belong to other people.

Hu Guohua looked at Ning Chen with shock on his face. He thought Ning Chen was the least noticeable of the three, but he didn't expect him to be a king!

Goodness, he's already spouting secrets right off the bat.

Hu Guohua secretly became wary of Ning Chen.

Chen Yulou and Partridge were filled with respect, "So you're from a prestigious family. No wonder you're so accomplished in Yin-Yang and Feng Shui."

Hu Guohua shook his head, unwilling to talk about the past, and only said, "My master had many disciples, but I only know Elder Liaochen from Wuku Temple..."

"Bang!"

Before Hu Guohua could finish speaking, Ning Chen interrupted him, slamming his hand on the table, which startled Hu Guohua.

"Hu Guohua, Master Liaochen is quite old and has long since retired from tomb raiding. He now only wishes to devote himself to chanting scriptures and worshipping Buddha and will no longer leave the mountain. What are you thinking, sending him to rob tombs?"

Partridge Whistle was surprised that Ning Chen knew so much about this, and he became even more dissatisfied with Ning Chen, who hadn't uttered a single word about it.

Hu Guohua knew all this, but still said, "That's true, but this elder might know the whereabouts of the other two Tomb Raider Talismans."

"If we can visit Elder Chen at Wuku Temple, he should know the whereabouts of the other two tomb raiders. If we're lucky enough to get help from one of them, what ancient tomb could we not find?"

"Hmph! If that's the case, it's all for nothing. Do you know what Master Zhang said when he passed the Tomb Raider Talisman to his three disciples?"

Everyone shook their heads and remained silent.

Ning Chen said coldly, "The Tomb Raiders live when united, and die when divided! If you want the Tomb Raiders to help, you need to collect three Tomb Raider Talismans and three Tomb Raiders. Do you think that's likely?"

Partridge Whistle swayed back and forth, his eyes filled with sorrow. Could it be that he was truly destined to never have the Muchen Pearl in this lifetime?

Seeing Ning Chen recounting tomb-raiding secrets, some of which Hu Guohua had never heard of before, Hu Guohua finally couldn't help but ask, "So, what exactly are you planning to do?"

Ning Chen suddenly imitated Chen Yulou's previous actions, picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and crossed his legs, looking very impressive.

"It's nothing serious, I just wanted to borrow a book from Mr. Hu. I'm a very studious person, I've loved reading all my life, and I feel restless whenever I'm without a book!"

Chen Yulou cursed inwardly, "That shameless Ning Chen! He's been robbing tombs in Ping Mountain for dozens of days, and all he's done is eat, drink, have fun, and practice internal alchemy."

He's not reading a book!

Hu Guohua breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Ning Chen hadn't asked him to help with tomb raiding; he knew Ning Chen was a kind person.

"What books would you like to borrow, Brother Ning?"

Hu Guohua also took a sip of tea, pondered for a moment, and then swallowed it. There is an art to tasting tea, and there is a true meaning to it.

Ning Chen stroked his chin somewhat awkwardly and said, "The book I want is rather strange, Mr. Hu, please don't make things difficult for me."

Hu Guohua asked, "What's strange?"

Ning Chen shook his head and said, "This book is said to have nine characters but actually has sixteen. I wanted a copy but only have half left. Mr. Hu, would you still like to borrow it?"

Hu Guohua was still savoring his second sip of tea when he heard Ning Chen's words, and he suddenly spat it all over Chen Yulou in front of him.

Pointing at Ning Chen, Hu Guohua stammered, "You...you...are you a human or a ghost? How did you know the secrets of my sect..."
